[Rockhounds] Travelling to Japan

[Jeffrey T. Cessna]

Jürgen,

The magazine Rocks & Minerals recently ran a 4 
part series on Japan that contained a lot of information.

The issues were...

Jul/Aug 2005 (80:04) Part 1
Sep/Oct 2005 (80:05) Part 2
Nov/Dec 2005 (80:06) Part 3
May/Jun 2006 (81:03) Part 4

You can find information about ordering reprint 
or back issues at their website...

I hope this helps.
